Has anyone played Squad yet? Is killing dune coons better than ever before?
>>320700152
I played it, Insurgency is still better.
>>320700152
I'm also interested in people's opinions, how does it differ from PR? Does the gameplay and shooting feel similar?
>>320700265
How so? I prefer PR over insurgency, would I like Squad more?
I already own Arma 3 and Insurgency. Why should I get this?
>>320700512
bump cause I wanna know
>>320700265
>>320701040
Insurgency's maps are too small most of the time and the pubs are usually completely fucking braindead, and it still feels like a glorified sourcemod, but it's not bad, I just like PR a lot more over insurgency.
As for Arma, I have a hard time finding and staying in a group cause holy shit pub servers have been fucking awful since Arma 1, and probably OFP but I didn't play OFP online cause I didn't reallu have internet at the time. That being said I still hop on with some friends for some small ops every once in awhile.
Still no Insurgency style game where you play as Cops & Gangsters
if only there was an Insurgency/Sub Rosa crossover
honestly tired of the military shit, especially in the desert
>>320701040
you build bases and defenses on the fly
doesn't seem as clunky as ARMA but has more scale than Insurgency
>>320702296
anon, OFP servers were like a dream come true. People took that game very seriously on the co-op mission side, which made for very fun matches. I only wish it translated over to ARMA because i haven't found a server that touches ofp servers in all three of the ARMA games, and I refuse to play with the milsim fags at shacktac or other groups.
>>320701040
This is pretty much the crossover of the two.
Functionality and scale of Arma 3 (at least when they add vehicles) with the gameplay fluidity of Insurgency.
They make you build supply lines to be able to resupply ammo from the command posts you build and someone has to actually drive the ammo truck so it can be ambushed.
There is going to be tanks and helis at least, not sure about fighter jets or bombers.
>>320700152
It's basically ArmA 2 combined with Insurgency.
It's pretty good, best teamwork I've ever had in an FPS with people I don't know. Massive room for improvement, but thus far it's not bad.
Not to sound generic, but more snipers will make this game, even if it's 1/2 per team. Me and my Squad fortified a small hamlet and held it for an entire round, our squad alone had more points than the entire enemy team, but one sniper could have given us some serious trouble.
>>320702845
You mean like SWAT?
It is pretty fucking great.
Runs better than ARMA ever did, handles well, and almost everyone has a mic.
I've spent most of my time playing on the 2fj server. Several guys that play there like to grab random FOB points and build castles.
Defending a FOB against angry chechans has been the most fun I've had in a while
Fools Road = best map
>>320701040
PR is what you play when you get tired of playing the same 3 maps on Arma and when you don't have 90 or so friends to play with at anytime you please.

Its going to take like a year to get the amount of vehicles and weapons PR has done, and PR is still free. So maybe when Squad gets hit down to 20 dollars it will be worth, but testing an EA game is never worth the time.
Still better than Insurgency, not as good as Arma but getting into Arma is way harder. You need to find a server/game mode you like and then hopefully find people to play with. In Squad you just press play.
I'd be up to play ArmA 3 with some modifications which are a nice modern setting but I always run into a bunch of faggots who create a kind of inner friend circle bullshit.
>>320706787
>but getting into Arma is way harder
And also almost dead.
Good luck finding a servers with ACE,JSRS,TF Radio.

>>320706787
>a year to get the amount of vehicles and weapons PR has
Oh god no. PR has like 15+ factions and tons of assets for each. I kinda doubt Squad will ever get close to what PR has.

Well it doesn't hide the fact it's unfinished, a game isn't made overnight.
The price may be too high for a EA game but you know what you get.
>>320709235
I've already put 17 hours into it and I've got zero regrets.
17 hours = 1020 minutes
130 minutes = average movie length
1020/130 = 7.846153846153846
A matinee is $9 - $11 per ticket at AMC.
Let's just assume 10 bucks.
7.846153846153846 * 10 = 78.46153846153846 USD
I've had more fun playing this than watching any movie I've ever seen and I still plan on spending a shitload of time as they add more content.
Our hobby is fucking cheap, guy.
It's pretty fun but monthly updates isn't enough. They should do weekly updates.

Autistic for comparing the cost of two different forms of entertainment. Gotcha, dank memer.
>>320711082
Maybe if you compare the cost of two different business decision. But that was pretty autistic.
Just wish there was better enviroment interactivity. Lotta waist high barriers that you have to fuck all about to get over (when you even can). Also had issues with shooting over them and hitting invisible geometry.
Otherwise good.
>>320711219
It is six in the morning and I'm bored out of my mind. Some basic math and two google searches are hardly hardcore research.
>>320700152
Insurgency is a better shooter
PR has more content
Arma is still the king of autis- I mean milsims
Honestly, this game is pointless at the moment. If they update it with all the features that PR has (going to take at least two years) then it takes over PRs place, but otherwise its not worth the money at all.
>>320711517
>Insurgency
>better than anything
jej
Insurgency is CoD with no hud, one shot kills, gun wobble and 3 km/h rockets.
It is really, really shitty. Not to mention people that play that game can't communicate even if their lives depended on it.
I'm glad it exists though, as a contaiment sort of game to keep all the retards shouting allahu akbar and memers in one place.
Oh did I mention Source engine?
is coop still populated in insurgency?
>>320711517
Thet stated they almost shipped with vehicles but felt like they needed more polish and didnt want to release buggy shit. Also they said they wanted to come out of EA late 2016, hopefully they have all of the features in by then.
>>320711828
>35 buck for early access
At least wait and see how often they update and if they actually implement vehicles within the next months.
>another brown modern taticool shooter with sandniggers

>>320710416
Nah, thats pretty much the fastest you can deploy that weapon. The L.A.W's aren't being produced anymore so the ones you get these days have been sitting in a storage possibly for decades and they behave exactly like they have. Expanding the tube feels like there's sahara's worth of sand in there, sights are loose and the trigger is stiff as fuck and you have to push it really fucking hard in order to fire the weapon.
>>320712656
>>320712556
My mistakes, those models, and terrain look exactly like arma 2
>>320712604
50+50 = 100
>>320712687
>The L.A.W's aren't being produced anymore
I thought they made a new batch recently because they found it convenient to just throw one or two into each HMMWV so everyone have something handy to put into soft targets.
>>320710283
Holy shit. I can use those things in real life. I need this game. I never had a chance to fire a live explosive with those things because I was sick during the live fire day ;__;
Is there any reason to stop playing PR to get this yet?
>>320712765
Well, it's set in (not)Afghanistan , like Arma 2 OA
So of course it looks similar.
>>320712886
They don't throw the fresh ones into the frontlines, gotta use the old ones in the storage first before they completely fall apart.
>>320712779
mind = blown
>>320712687
Your ammo techies/ammo contactors haven't been storing them very well. We're still using the A6 and training subcals and will in the forseeable future.

>>320713731
Project reality, a bf2 mod (now standalone so no bf2 required) that is a half way point between battlefield and arma in terms of gameplay.
>>320713731
Project Reality. If you do step into it, read the manual and go in with baby steps. Asking about server rules on assets will help as well. There will always be blokes willing to talk you through the game if you have the patience and time.
>>320700152

No point in paying £30 for a game with little content.
>>320714031

>>320714084

600-700 to be exact, the numbers are consistent so there's no issues.
>>320714114
>>320714127
Oh jeez really kids? Is that the best you can do?
PR is dying, it has been for months now, entire countries that had servers have all gone offline.
Do I need friends to play this with?
>>320700152
Insurgency is like 2 bucks right now, putting squad and insurgency content against each other and compare price then insurgency wins for the moment.
Squad might get better once vehicles and more content is put in but right now it's pretty barebones.
>>320714405
Luckily no, you can join any server and people communicate really well.
Just have a mic and join a squad, all ready to go.
>>320714405
not really, but you pretty much going to feel alienated when you don't get the internal memes the squads are doing when you tag along.
So is the gunplay any better or did they transfer the awkward aiming of BF2 to the game?
>>320714187
Except for the fact there's over 600 people a night for months. Dying it is, truly.
>>320714491

>>320700152
Anyone know how the Australian community for the game is?
>>320714550
It got released as a standalone project so of course it had a jump in population. It's just went back to the same levels as before.
>>320714601
http://squad.rocks/
Not that many players, but enough to fill a few servers
>>320714550
Nah, it's been pretty much stable for the past few years. After a release it'll peak for a little while and then stabilize back to what it is now. Been admin-ing this game for years so I pay far too much attention to population levels.
>>320714660
Irrelevant of the standalone PR had many thousands of players before it and now less after it.
Whatever, you are in massive denial and wont listen to reason so I wont waste any more time on you.
>>320705535

You do realize they are the same devs?
So was exactly is early release?
A paid beta and then you have buy the full release later?
>>320715097
You don't have to buy it a second time.
>>320715097
You're basically preordering the game and you get to play an unfinished shit version with no features
>>320701040
Because it is neither of those games.
>>320715097
You can buy it in the middle of development, which 95% of the time means it's complete shit and 99% of time you'll never see a finished product.
One of the biggest scams in a long time. There's probably hundreds of "survival" games alone and all of them equally shitty.
>>320715097
You buy the game in an unfinished state knowing its unfinished, with some/likely chance it will never reach the promised land.
Usually done so they can get funds to get new members of development team and fund the game
>>320700152
Currently its basically infantry only PR. Little to no reason to get it over as there is very little content to justify the price tag. I rather still just play PR until they add some vehicles.
The lack of vehicles make insurgency gamemode boring as fuck.

>>320702845
>Cops & Gangsters

It's unreal. More like Cops versus niggers.
>>320714465
Gun play feels awkward but that's coming from bf4/arma and ro2 can't quite remember what pr handled like after this long.
Like PR, this game is fantastic when you're in a good squad, and absolutely frustrating horseshit when you're not.
I gotta say though, Squad's controls are fucking fab. Beats PR and Arma by miles.
Buying this game seems like a big bet, and a bad one. First its early access, second its a 50vs50, so you need 100 players to have a real match. If for whatever reason the population of this game go down it just becomes unenjoyable
>>320715769
That's dissapointing. I was sick of having to wait 60 seconds to be able to actually hit anything. Thank god the guns in PR also have no drop-off...
I hope they add more than sand niggers and Murricans, though. I liked the conventional warfare in PR better than Insurgency.
>>320716118
Squad doesn't have that stupid wait time before you can shoot accurately, even PR ditched that in the latest update. There are 4 factions already in the game, two militias (Chechens and the taliban) and two conventional factions US armed forces and RU armed forces.
>>320716306
I hope they re-add MEC because G3A3 stronk.
>>320716306
Can I run the fucking game wit 60+ frame rate? It's why I don't play arma 3 anymore. Performance.
I7 4770k and gtx 970
>>320716423
Dunno, I get around 80-100 on GTX980ti. You can always get a refund if it runs like shit.
>>320700512
If you like PR more than insurgency then you will like squad more. Especially when vehicles and more gets added. Vehicles will be added end of december i think, not sure
>>320715669
RIP. In that case, I hope Squad succeeds and hurries up with a full release.
>>320715769

People didn't exactly drop modded Arma 2 altogether when Arma 3 released. Though PR's quality did drop when it became standalone.
>>320716963
How did the quality drop?
>>320714127
Then the number drops back down to around 300 once the third world BRs and hispanics factor in, as well as those french and jap fucks that only play with each other.
>>320716423
Considering that it runs fairly well on my gtx570 (albeit with some settings turned pretty far down), you shouldn't have any issues.
Currently there's some occasional stutter that's apparently caused by the animation system, but they're gonna address that.
>>320716963
People dropped A2 after that meme update that fucked with the mods

>>320717574
They're great devs, but their downfall will be that they thought they can handle marketing & PR internally.
The rushed EA release, the presentation, the pricing - these guys have no idea what they're doing from a business standpoint.
>>320705197
Haha, yes! It is a joke! Haha!
So this game is just the middleground between ARMA and Insurgency
But why early access like this? They really should have waited until the game was done, and then had a full release. At this point the game is going to come out of early access but there won't be anyone talking about it and it will go quietly into the night.
>>320714846
What server was this on? Sounds extremely faggy.
>>320718380
Agreed, don't get why people even compare them. It's more like Red Orchestra 2 if anything.
The thing about it is that it has semi-realistic gameplay but an arcade game-mode. If we're going to go into specifics there is no game that is completely realistic. I've seen some complain that people go down in 2-3 hits, but I think it's more because if you did take that many hits, you'd be combat ineffective, while in ArmA you can revive someone and have them up and running minutes later.
And in Project Reality there is no aim sway so instead bullets just go all over the place and you have to focus your fire.
Not that any of this is inherently bad, I'm just pointing out that all of the games are semi-realistic with their own compromises.

>>320719301
I didn't play Wasteland much, but wasn't that like 5-10 AI max per mission? From what I recall Wasteland was heavily PvP oriented. Now if you had said Invade & Annex, I'd have been surprised, assuming you're near the town that is the objective.
Try populating a small town with AI patrolling, and standing guard in buildings and watch towers.
At around 30-40 AI I guarantee you'll be playing at ~50fps with occasional drops.
>>320719301
So you're playing a mod which has a mostly empty map and trying to say it represents ArmA.
